[ale] GParted & unallocated space

[mute wonder]

I just read today about a bug in Ubuntu 9.x's GParted working with extended
partitions.  Can you try a current release of a rescue live CD?  Should have
any bugfixed Gparted, plus those updates regarding CHS limits.  In case the
whole disk got thrashed, some other rescue utilities--testdisk, whatever
else--would be pretty handy ;)
